Product description
The 12-year-old Mortlach 'The Wee Witchie' was matured in sherry and bourbon casks. The malt is the entry into a new series that Diageo introduced in 2018 as part of a repositioning of the brand, the new bottlings are significantly cheaper.
The Mortlach distillery is known for its special distillation process, which was developed by Alexander Cowie at the end of the 19th century. The spirit is passed through 6 differently shaped stills, separated several times by pipe bends and distilled 2.81 times. This makes the Taste of the 'Beast of Dufftown' particularly strong and muscular.

The Distillery: Mortlach
The Mortlach distillery was the first of Dufftown’s famous seven distilleries. The distillery was also the first legal distillery in the town, which is quite a distinction, especially when we consider the impressive amount of illicit activity that was occurring around the site at that time.

Kommentar: Kein einfacher Whisky, irgendwie vielschichtig, aber nicht so richtig zu fassen. Vielleicht etwas zu teuer bzw. gibt es für fast 70 € deutlich spannendere. -

Kommentar: Leider vergleichsweise mild und unterkomplex. Will niemand weh tun, büßt so aber Charakter ein. Kein schlechter Whisky, aber in der Preisklasse gibt es bessere. -
